Explore Benagil Cave by kayak at sunrise or sunset, with smaller groups, nearby caves, photo time, and practical tips for a smoother visit.
“Beautiful- love the views, kayaking and caves but it was too long and more strenuous than we expected. We have done calm lake kayaking but this was 2 hours of paddling wavy waters. A lot of work for us and for others in our group. Really cool to kayak inside the caves but it was too long. We would have enjoyed a 45 minute excursion with one cave and back. Glad we did sunrise. First kayaks out but coming back in was chaos. Zillions of kayaks all over the place. Loads of seaweed when you come in. Also VERY hard to find the meeting point. Our Uber dropped us too…”

“Incredible! Even in the rain this was a spectacular experience! Definitely want to be in kayak shape to cross the channel! But 100% worth the trip! The guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I loved every minute! Just a heads up even though they provide jackets— it’s best to pack warm! And bring a change of clothing if you don’t want to stay wet during the hike. Hope this helps!”

Lino hat uns gut in die Verhaltensregeln und das Kayaken eingeschult und während der gesamten Tour trotz aufziehendem Regenschauer sehr gut auf uns aufgepasst. Seine Erklärungen zur idyllische Flora&Fauna und auch zum Kokosnuss-Survival-Training waren superinteressant. Mitunter der motivierteste Guide auf unsrer gesamten Costa Rica Reise :). Man braucht ein bisschen Mut um nachts ins dunkle Wasser zu steigen, aber die Biolumineszenz hat uns dann eine knappe Stunde unaufhörlich staunen lassen. Wunderschön! Unbedingt wieder! (Tipp...”
